BOBBIN-HOLDER FOR SPOOLINC-IVIACHINES.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No; 306,109l dated October7, 1884.

Application filed October 17, 1883. (No model.)

To all whom, t may concern/.-

Be it known that I, BENJAMIN SAUNDEEs, of Nashua, in the county ofHillsborough, of the State of New Hampshire, have inventeda new anduseful Improvement in Bobbin-Hold ers for Spooling-Machines; and I dohereby declare the same to be described in the following'specication andrepresented in the accompanying drawings, of which- Figure l is a topview, Fig. 2 aside elevation, and Eig. 3 a front end view, of aspooling-machine bobbin-holder provided with my invention, the nature ofwhich is defined in the claim hereinafter presented.

The bobbin-holder on which my improvement rests is whatis Wellknownamong manufacturers as the lVade Bobbin-Holder,77 it having beenpatented January 26, 1875, No. 159,053, by Asel M. lVade. It isexhibited in the drawings as consisting not only of a shallow trough, A,upon which the loaded bobbin (represented at B) rests, but of twogravitating lips or jaws, O C, which are pivoted loosely to a ,carrieror bent arm, O', and arranged with such trough in manner as shown.

In carrying out my invention I combine with the said bobbin-holder meansnot only of guiding the yarn in its traverse lengthwise of thebobbin,but of removing iromit bunches or enlargements or foreign mattersobjectionable to it in the weaving of the same. To this end there isfastened to the upper part of the arm C a guide consisting of a member,D, formed as represented, and to such member there is fixed by screws canother such member, E, the two being `arranged so as to have a narrowand long passage, I, between them,

such passage at one end being open, and at its opposite-end opening intoa hole, c, formed in both of the members, there being another thoughsmaller hole, d, in' the member at or near their middles, as shown. Thethread or yarn while being drawn from the bobbin extends from it upwardinto and through the slot, and in being so unwound traverses through theslot longitudinally thereof, which is arranged over the bobbinlengthwise of it. The holes in the slot are for the purpose of clearingthe guides of filamentous bunches or other accumulations removed fromthethread or yarn by the guides in its passage between them.

In this device the members D and E are arranged so as to form a guidehaving the passage or slot b. As the yarn runs up and down this passageor slot, it pushes any accumulation therein before it. The thread doesnot enter the large hole, but near enough to push accumulations therein.The middle or smaller hole is designed to relieve the thread of anysmall accumulations as such thread passes along, thereby preventing anychaiing or adhesion of the thread. As the accumulations catch in theseholes they may be removed.

Vhat I claim is- A bobbin-holder provided with a slotted guide havingthe hole d at or near its middle, and a larger hole, e, at one end, thesaid holes being for the purpose set forth.

BENJAMIN SAUNDERS.
